was this all.
Still another locomotive had been rem

circumstances and there is no doubt in our
minds that we have an assortment that

mains for you to call and see them in or

A Burglary and Reputed Highway
Robbery Occur.

VIM. Hunt is the respectable sounding
nameo of the disreputable individual who
burglarized Dillman's Eddy street saloon
yesterday morning, and who now occupies
a cell in the city jail.
Hunt was at one time employed about
the restaurant run in conjunction with
Dillman's place, and was well acquainted
with the premises and habits of the pro-
prletors. His venture was, even pecuni-
arily, a most proftless one, the total
plumber secured consisting of 50 or So in
money and a silver watch of little value.
Hunt vigorously denied the imputation
against his honesty, but as a portion of
the missing property was found on his
person and identified, there can be no
mistake.
The robbery of John Anderson last
Saturday night is the stereotyped tale of
three-fourths of the drunken men incar-
cerated in the city jail. Upon recovering
from the effects of his debauch,
Anderson stated that while in a
maudlin condition he had been re-
ieved of a purse containing about $40 in
silver. Upon the strength of Anderson's
assertions and deductions drawn from
other suspicious circumstances the officers
arrested Chas. Smith and Chas. Hender-
son, two negroes as the ~culprits. The
of the robbery is unknown, but
it was whispered into the ear of a LEADER
reporter last evening that it was a genuine
%''hold-up," Anderson having been forced
to stand and deliver while a loaded revol-
yer was held to his head. If this is cor
rect tie rather ordinary offense OF petit
larceny assumes the graver aspect of the
crime of highway robbery. 1t is said that
the fine italian hand of Hendersons, who
claims to be the champion butter of several
states engineered the transaction and that
Smith, a cook known as smokey was an
unwilling assistant.

FlNE WATER SUPPLY.
A Ready Method of Supplying Ranches
III the Plains.

A party of blue nosed gentlemen repre-
senting the city council, board of trade
and press of the city, yesterday visited
the Baird, Voorhees, & Hammond addi-
ton just north of the city, to inspect the
well which has Just been sunk there by
NJ. P. Keefe. The well is sunk on a
ridge which is elevated about $50 feet
above Sixteenth street. 1t is sunk 247
feet, but the water has risen to within 100
feet of the surface. A pump, operated
by an engine of small power, is now at
work turning out "a, $50 gallons a
day. A good wind mill in that
breezy locality could easily double the
quantity. The water is of prime quality.
City Engineer Miller calculated that the
quantity was sufficient to supply about
1000 people.
Wells of this character will be sunk all
over this locality lex season, and the
small ranchmen will then be prepared to
irrigate successfully whether rain falls or
not,

a OPINION,
How h Great Russian Drama was
Received in Georgia.

lAtldnlh constitutional
The largest audience that has yet as
sembled at DeGive's opera house was
present last night to witness the perform
ance of Michael Strogof.. This play has
found immense favor with the public.
1t has pleased since its first presentation.
In Paris it ran for nearly three years,
and also had a long run in London and
New York, and is now on the road for
its fifth season. This being lis second
season in Atlanta, it was given a welcome
reception.
Harold Linson as Michael Strogoff"
was perfect and whenever he made his
appearance was received with enthusi.
astic applause. Excepting the short time
that Bangs impersonated this character,
Mr.. Linson is the original "Michael Stro-
goff." His tender devotion for his mother
was strained to its utmost tension when he
was forced to keep his oath not to reveal
himself to her, and was thereby compelled
to deny her.
Maria Strogoff" was admirably inter-
preted by Miss Helen Jones. The anguish
of her mothers heart upon seeing her
sons eyes put out, was touching to be-
hold, while Florino Arnold sustained her
part in a most creditable manner, evincing
considerable dramatic ability. The per-
Torrance was very much varied, each
part being well presented.

THE DEER TRAIL TERROR.
a Cheyenne G%entleman's Recollection
of the Desperate.

MIR. Barney. Cutler, of this city, is well
acquainted with Newt. Vorce, the now
famous Arapahoe county, Col. dtsperado,
whose reckless courage, daring and cum
ming in eluding the arduous efforts of half
q dozen posses to effect his capture entitle
him to the name which heads this article.
Mr.. Cutler rode the range with Vorce Tor
several seasons and recollects him as a
conscientious worker, rather quiet, but
ambitious to make a record for himself.
Vorce, prior to the escapade which caused
his every movement to be flashed over
the wires to thousands, was not consid-
cred a desperate at all. In fact, the
crime for which he was incarcerated in the
Deer Trail Jail was nothing more serious
than the usual result of drunken brawls
in communities where observance of the
law is a secondary consideration, he hav-
ing severely beaten a fellow roysterer.
Like the hunted animal, the man has be-
come desperate. Rather than be cap
tured and serve a term in the peniten-
tiary, he shot and wounded Cantley, and
in the second encounter killed Holdings
worth. Now he is a typical Ishmaelite.
